Hey Qale, you were at Dragon*Con again this year, right? Adam Savage walked the floor as Jack Sparrow. -- (link) - Mop (200 lbs) Sep 24, 15:21 [youtube] 1
- Yeah, I saw him walking what ended up not being the line for his panel. Ours got disbanded per the fire marshal in spite of the fact we were outside! -- nm - Qale Sep 24, 15:25

        there was a pop up message on the phone to update. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 24, 15:13
        
        right on the phone. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 24, 15:13 8

        yeah, and there is nothing there, trust me. - groiny Sep 24, 15:23 4
        
        My wife figured out how to close apps. You have to pull up the background stuff (double click?) and then swipe. The x won't be there anymore. -- nm - spamlet Sep 24, 15:27 3

AmCup..from 8-1 down...TIED.....raceoff tomorrow -- nm - budice Sep 24, 14:38 3
- The U.S. comeback is more noteworthy given that Oracle was assessed a two-race penalty before the Cup finals began. They have actually won nine races - peglegpete Sep 24, 14:57

    - I am not comparing, just commenting, it does happen, and in this case, to the very end. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 24, 14:24 4
      - sure, it's just that part of their argument is that hours of boob shots are shown with basically no measurable amount of dick shots -- nm - zork Sep 24, 14:31 3
        
        I mean, I don't have HBO, but would seem to be a case of "nobody wants to see that, yo" - con_carne Sep 24, 14:43 1

        Right. The point is it looked real. -- nm - pmb Sep 24, 14:36
        
        depends on your point of view, but I get what you're saying. It's like that Vincent Gallo movie Brown Bunny - Remlik Sep 24, 14:35 4
        
        Pretty sure that was a real blow job. - pmb Sep 24, 14:38 2

- Some people complain. I used to subscribe. - David Sep 24, 14:11
- Why would you bother complaining? If you're not subscribed, just set a skip on the channel. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 24, 14:09 8
  - it ruined the flow -- nm - peglegpete Sep 24, 14:13
  - Maybe even the titles of programs are too offensive. -- nm - Qale Sep 24, 14:12 6
    - most of the rest of the pay tier, HBO, Starz, etc have friendlier named shows. Playboy was stuck between Sundance, Hallmark & Smithsonian. - peglegpete Sep 24, 14:20 3

- Though "government shutdown is not a bad thing" and "governement shutdown is better than some other alternative" are two very different things. - Ender Sep 24, 14:06 6
  - except the Democrats are more than willing to keep all of the government running. - znufrii Sep 24, 14:17 4
    - Which, if you read his message means Democrats think "government shutdown is better than defunding Obamacare" - spamlet Sep 24, 14:26 1

    - Right. It doesn't become "both sides contribute" when one side's "compromise" is conditioned on something completely unreasonable. -- nm - pmb Sep 24, 14:19

- Ezra Klein made a point that a government shutdown wouldn't be a disaster if it results in avoiding default. (link) - mara Sep 24, 14:06 11

    - The markets need to know with certainty that the debts will be paid. Without a change that is no longer a certainty. Our debt gets downgraded, costs - pmb Sep 24, 14:18

        Okay. "Non-Essential". It's still a fallacy, and ignores much of what government does and the fact that it creates additional waste and cost, - pmb Sep 24, 14:31
